nature.com — After two years of work, with a purpose-built steel machine wired up to high-speed cameras, microphones and electronic sensors, a team of Japanese researchers has finally proved that a hard-boiled egg can jump1.

Why do we care?About the egg, and also about the comments on the article?Are we "just a bunch of geeks" who delight in highlighting spelling and grammatical mistakes instead of worthy conversation?(Can't wait to see what you all say about this.)

Of course, I was the fool who didn't go for the "straight to the center" technique, but rather the "get ALL of the candy off" technique. 4357 licks. Talk about a sore tongue.
